Holiday Gifts Ideas for the Pet Set
17.12.09
Tabor explained that as our pets age, they can become more sensitive to the cold, just like humans. This is especially true, he added, if your dog or cat sleeps near a drafty window or door.
Tabor also has hundreds of cat and dog toys from which to choose, including the new Kong Wubba and even a plush "Mr. Bill" doll.
Also popular are the new soft leatherette carriers for cats and small dogs. Selling for $65 and up, they look more like attractive luggage than traditional, plastic pet carriers and make it easier for owners to take their pets into stores and other public places.
For feisty felines, cat condos are always a big seller and range anywhere from $65 to $300, depending on size.
The dog cookie treats are undoubtedly one of the most popular gifts, not only for the holiday season but year round. There are gingerbread men, snowflakes, footballs (Kelly's favorite), Hanukah dreidels, and Santas. If you were to put these beautifully-decorated cookies out on a platter on your kitchen table, I challenge your guests to tell the difference from "people" cookies (unless they bite into them, of course). Made with all natural ingredients such as whole wheat flour and yogurt, they contain no sugar and sell for $2 apiece. Gift boxes are also available for $10 and up.
